I don't get it. An Archer doesn't "charge" when casting "Phoenix Shot". She "pulls back", which is quite the opposite.
Do you mean you want to make the "build up" time instant, or non-existent? (the latter would make the skill worse than a normal shot, and the former would make her 10x more powerful than any other player, because the DPS would go through the roof if she performs rapid PS.

no clue how to fix this, maybe just adjust delay time?
After press phoenix shot, it has a loading time (purple bar of loading).
I want to remove this loading bar and simply use the skill without this bar.
It's a power up skill. If you press and release, you get a very low power hit... less than a normal shot. If you press and hold until the bar reaches the top you get an incredibly powerful shot, and one of the highest damage hits in the game.
The delay while "powering up" is important because, you can half power the bar and get a good hit in quite often, or power it all the way and get a devastating hit but not too fast that the DPS (Damage Per Second) is completely unbalancing.
I've not seen a Private server with this very useful feature removed (but I don't play a lot of them) and I really wouldn't want to.
As I say, there are two ways you could achieve this... either forcing the mouse to release right away, making Phoenix shot the most pointless skill in the game, or making the bar charge fully in less than a single screen refresh, making the only character worth playing in PvP the archer as she will then devastate all other classes level almost instantly once she has that skill, completely own SOD and Bless and be able to wipe out swathes of players in any PvP ground.
I can't see any reason to want either of those options in PT, and have no intention of looking to see how you might do it.
I can only see why you may want to do it to your client on a server which doesn't normally allow this, since then you would be the only player with this impossible DPS and own the entire server. :ott1:
The "balanced" option would be to combine the two, I guess. Make the bar instantly go half way and then automatically release... that removes the unique feature of this skill, but leaves the game balanced. TBH, I'd rather see some of the Pike and Fighter skills "power up" the was Phoenix Shot does than remove it... but I'm not you.
Good luck finding it.
PS charging is only for linear DMG... -_-Quote:

Besides this is not that great skill its folowing equivalent exchange rule, to obtain, power equal value must be lost (HP in this case, agility don't give you any).
@Vovozozo
Quick search leading me to this:
http://forum.ragezone.com/f286/delay-skill-398216/
and this...
http://forum.ragezone.com/f286/skill...rouble-436522/
any of those help or you did not found it?
The PS ability of the Archer is the primary reason I like to play her. If I could AOE everything with an instant full bar PS I think I would be pretty unstoppable, and if I couldn't increase above half bar, I don't think I'd want to play the archer any more. XD That's all.
I'm pretty sure the lower the bar is, the less total damage I do in a single hit across all targets. Total damage = sum of all damage done to any target hit. DPS = Total Damage / Seconds to recharge. So I'm fairly confident that instant power up would overpower this skill, and no power up really does make it useless... somewhere in-between, I wouldn't like to say.
Either way, I'd still rather see more skills work this way. In fact, I'd rather see that as the DPS limiting factor than running out of stamina and having to take pots all the time.
Spoiler:
The skill delay, I have edited before following those pages, but I think the power up to Phoenix Shot is "different" somehow. The skill delay stops you initiating the skill till it's delay is up.
I don't know of any other skills that build up the way PS does (there are several classes I almost never play) but I would be interested to find out how this works, and see if it can be applied to other skills.
I think its "bool", is either charged or not, like pike skill CS.Quote:

But yes this charging bar is interesting, investigating it might help with new skills creation.
